摘要:
A container that provides support structure and environmental control means including, for example, minimal contact with a wafer or reticle contained therein that cooperates with wafer or reticle to provide a diffusion barrier mitigates against particles settling on a face of the wafer or reticle. The container includes a base having a flat, polished surface with protrusions upon which the wafer or reticle rests. The protrusions are of a geometry, such as a sphere, that imparts minimum contact with the wafer or reticle and suspends the wafer or reticle over the base, providing a gap therebetween. The gap isolates the wafer or reticle from the flat, polished surface of the base, but is dimensioned to inhibit migration of particles into the gap, thereby preventing contamination of sensitive surfaces of the wafer or reticle. Diffusion filters provide pressure equalization without filter media. Moveable reticle pins on the top cover provide reticle restraint. Dual containment pod embodiment provides further isolation and protection.
摘要:
A dual containment pod having an outer pod and an inner pod that provides support structure and environmental control means. The inner pod includes a base having a flat, polished surface with protrusions upon which the reticle seats and providing a gap between the reticle and the polished surface. The gap separates the reticle from the flat, polished surface of the base and is dimensioned to inhibit migration of particles into the gap, thereby preventing contamination of sensitive surfaces of the wafer or reticle. The top cover of the inner pod seats on the polished surface proximate a periphery of the base. Moveable reticle engaging pins on the top cover of the inner pod are engaged by the top cover of the outer container when the inner pod is assembled inside the outer pod providing reticle restraint.

摘要:
An apparatus for making directional resistivity measurements of a subterranean formation includes a resistivity tool body with a longitudinal axis and an outer surface, a first antenna with two open ends deployed below the outer surface, a second antenna deployed below the outer surface and spaced at an axial distance from the first antenna, and at least one slot formed on the outer surface. A corresponding method for making directional resistivity measurements includes rotating a resistivity tool in a borehole, utilizing a transmitter-receiver antenna group formed in the resistivity tool to process an electromagnetic wave, and computing a resistivity-related measurement from the electromagnetic wave received on the receiver antenna.
